I am so so sorry to hear about your husband Angelika.  i hope you are able to find peace - it is so important to raise awareness about ACEs and to create trauma-informed systems of care in this world.

Since I'm not even near CT but nonetheless am certain this is a topic is of not only general, but superior importance for re-entry ( and also for those doomed by endless sentences), and not only relevant for MH professionals (like myself), I'd highly appreciate if more information about this training was available to everyone, not only participants.

My husband, with an ACE score of at least 8 (I assume, knowing where and under what circumstances he grew up and what he was exposed to), had to participate in such (with otherwise differing approaches) "break them down" drug treatments in prison in Missouri - and was kicked out three times because he refused to be "broken", as he nsisted on his DIGNITY as a human being, and as a Black man in particular. It cost him delayed parole and ultimately his life. While our, he violated parole for "technical" reasons (not finding employment, testing dirty, missing dates), and died of cancer shackled and chained to a community hospital bed - 8 weeks shy of his second parole date, denied medical parole. Which raised my ACE score significantly.
